I was driving past the Big Pineapple today and decided to drop in to see its current state. I hadn't been there since about 1995 and clearly remember it from the mid 80's.
The side attraction, called Tomorrow's Harvest or something similar, is in a total state of disrepair. Also, the Big Macadamia is closed.
The main building is as I remember it. It looks like it has not been changed since the 90's. It's not beyond repair but needs some serious TLC.
I was talking to a staff member who was telling me that the main building, the farm and the Pineapple itself is now heritage listed. It's a pity to see it like this. l hope that a new owner is able to inject some life into this icon.
